Notes
'Chantecler' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Chantecler') is a shrub for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The blooms are double, with many layered petals that fill each flower. Auguste Dessert bred it in 1913. Plant it where you can enjoy the flowers up close or cut them for a vase.
Pairs well with Smooth hydrangea, Sedge, and Irish moss.
